The pump-and-dump liquidation playbook keeps repeating:
1. Control the supply
2. Pump the price to grab attention
3. Trap retail traders going long
4. Dump hard and liquidate everyone
5. Walk away with millions
This cycle won't stop until we get real regulatory clarity in crypto. Right now, the game is rigged against retail—whales manipulate low-liquidity tokens, create FOMO, then pull the rug while exchanges profit from liquidation fees.
The lack of enforcement and transparent market structure lets this continue. Until we see clearer rules around market manipulation, insider trading, and exchange accountability, retail will keep getting wrecked by the same playbook.
